[TenTec] Wish the sidetone volume stayed constant

I 'spect there's a really easy way to get an Orion in mauve, just right to match all the Victorian decor ham shacks. Ask Scott how many make a production run, find enough people who want or need a mauve Orion and are willing to pay the base price plus a reasonable surcharge for the privelege of owning one, and place a guaranteed order. With the usual 100 % payment by irrevokable letter of credit. 

Personally, the widder's weeds my Orion wears has been growing on me. Basic black wears pretty well on the rig. Although I am going to stop by the hobby store and pick up a Testors paint pen in white so I don't plug the key into the headphone jack again. It got awfully quiet around here at 2:00 AM local time a few mornings ago!
